Chapter 2: Installation and Removal Procedures and Notes

• Tools Needed

• Tools necessary to make electrical connection.

• Mounting Instructions

Your PT-510/PT-510W series submersible pressure transducer is designed to be free-hanging.

• Electrical Installation

• Connect the wires of your PT-510 to your control system according to the pinout table above.

 NOTE: If your PT-510 has a vent tube, do not seal, cover, or close the vent tube with

anything other than an APG-provided venting cap or desiccant drying cartridge (See Fig­ure 3.1 and 3.2). Unapproved seals or covers will prevent proper sensor operation.

• Removal Instructions

Removing your PT-510/PT-510W from service must be done with care. It’s easy to damage your sensor if you
are not careful to follow these guidelines:

• Retrieve the sensor from the vessel. Follow any and all procedures for safely isolating any media con­tained inside the line or vessel.

• Carefully clean the sensor’s tting and diaphragm of any debris (see General Care) and inspect for

damage.

• Store your sensor in a dry place, at a temperature between -40° F and 180° F.

Chapter 3: Maintenance

• General Care

Your PT-510/PT-510W series pressure transmitter is very low maintenance and will need little care as long as
it is installed correctly. However, in general, you should:

• Avoid applications for which the transmitter was not designed, such as extreme temperatures, contact
with incompatible corrosive chemicals, or other damaging environments.

• Avoid touching the diaphragm. Contact with the diaphragm, especially with a tool, could permanently
shift the output and ruin accuracy.

• Clean the diaphragm or the diaphragm bore only with extreme care. If using a tool is required, make
sure it does not touch the diaphragm.



IMPORTANT: Any contact with the diaphragm can permanently damage the sensor.

Use extreme caution.

• Vent Tube Drying

Condensation in the vent tube can damage the electronics in your sensor, resulting in unreliable readings.

APG oers two methods of preventing vent tube condensation: a venting cap, and a desiccant drying

cartridge.

The venting cap is a PVC tube with a hydrophobic patch that allows moisture to pass out of the tube without

allowing water in (See Figure 3.1). The cap is sealed by an o-ring, and is easily installed in the eld.

The desiccant drying cartridge with vent tube adapter absorbs any moisture in the vent tube to keep vapor
from condensing (See Figure 3.2). The installation of the desiccant drying cartridge is quick and easy.
Common installation methods are cable tie, Velcro, and cable clamps.

Figure 3.1

Figure 3.2

 NOTE: Desiccant crystals change from blue to pink as they become saturated. Car-

tridge must be replaced when all crystals have saturated.

 IMPORTANT: Do NOT use desiccant cartridge in the presence of vapors or liquids con-

taining phosphate esters, synthetic lubricants, hydrocarbon solvents, methanol, acetone,
lacquer solvents, or other organics.
